The mountains follow the plains, and the rivers flow into the great wilderness. At the beginning of the morning, Wang Laixing greeted the morning light, straddled the war horse, and walked slowly along the Jialing River in the east of Jianzhou. Behind him, five or six guards followed.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the birds in the forest were suddenly awakened and fluttered their wings. Several of the guards looked tense and drew their sabers from their waists. Wang Laixing looked sideways, saw a purple and black horse in the forest, like a swimming dragon, galloping over, and saw it and muttered to himself: "It's her." With that, he put the knife back.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Shilu's purple and black horses are famous in Zhao Ying, seeing horses like people, Wang Laixing did not wait for Qin Shilu to approach, he waved and shouted from afar.

"Phew!" When the purple black horse arrived, Qin Shilu grabbed the reins, and at the same time asked angrily, "I didn't want to practice this morning, why did you come here?" ”

Wang Laixing pouted and replied: "The drill has its own soldier drill, I am the money and food envoy, what kind of fun." ”

"Didn't Brother Zhao say that no generals above the general level should be absent from the drill, you are lazy. You know, the more you practice on the school field, the less danger you will be on the battlefield! Qin Shilu was very dissatisfied with Wang Laixing's perfunctory, and said angrily.

"Good, good, good. I'll definitely go to the next drill. Wang Laixing wanted to refute two sentences, but when he thought of Qin Shilu's brutal character, he was afraid that she would blow up his hair, so he showed weakness first, "I can't get along with the surnamed Hou, every time I practice, he makes fun of me, and I don't want to be angry with him." ”

"Then you can mention it to Brother Zhao. He ordered to go down to see what tricks the surnamed Hou dared to play. ”

"But ......" Wang Laixing swallowed back his words, he didn't know that Zhao Dangshi was his backer, but as he grew older, his self-esteem became stronger and stronger. He doesn't want to be said to be a fox and a fake tiger soft bone, so he would rather avoid Hou Dagui than use Zhao Dangshi's power to support himself.

"It's so cold, you're not lying under the covers, what's the wind blowing here?" Wang Laixing didn't want to continue to talk on the topic of avoiding drills, so he changed the topic in a timely manner.

"I wanted to ask you. If you don't go, you won't go, how can you get to the river? Qin Shilu didn't answer, glared at him. Suddenly, she found that Wang Laixing's thin and pale cheeks seemed to be red because of the fierce blowing of the river wind, and for no reason a pity came to her heart, and she said angrily: "Don't wrap it tightly when you come out." ”

"Didn't my brother say before he left, he was not there, and he had to guard Jianzhou, the first priority was to defend the pass, and the second thing was to defend the river. Since Mr. Wu Qian had gone to Tieshan Pass two days ago, I saw that Hou Dagui had not sent anyone to guard Jiangdu, so I came to investigate. Wang Laixing didn't notice Qin Shilu's concern, shook his spirits, and said proudly.

"Ugh."

"Why sigh?" Wang Laixin wanted Qin Shilu to echo the two sentences, but he didn't want her to do the opposite, and asked.

"Nothing." Qin Shilu also wanted to speak and stopped. She is much smarter than the honest Wang Laixing, and she has long been aware of Zhao Dangshi's intention to appoint Wang Laixing as the money and grain envoy. As the closest partner, Zhao Dangshi knows Wang Laixing no better, he hopes that his partner can always hide under his wing and not be implicated in the war, and his good intentions are naturally difficult for Wang Laixing, who is at a passionate age and has a strong desire to express.

"You haven't answered me yet, why did you come here?" Wang Laixing was rude and straightforward, and he didn't care about Qin Shilu's avoidance of answering, but asked back the initial question.

"I'm looking for you because I have something important to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Wang Laixing looked at Qin Shilu, and saw that she was very serious, not like she was playing tricks on people, so he also cleaned his face, approached her, and chatted with each other.

"Wu Liangjie, you know."

"Huh? What happened to him? "When Wang Laixing was the president of Houying Qian, Wu Liangjie was the general manager under him, others are not familiar with him, can he still be familiar with Wu Liangjie?

Qin Shilu paused and said, "There is something wrong with this person. ”

"You're talking about him and Zhang, Zhang...... Ma Zhang's ...... "Wang Laixing has been in charge of the rear camp for a long time, and he is no stranger to all kinds of characters in it, and Zhang Miaobai has a deep impact on him because of his past with Zhao Dangshi." It's just that Zhao Dangshi and her didn't make any more movement later, and after a long time, he gradually forgot about this woman, but the gossip between Zhang Miaobai and Wu Liang still came to his ears from time to time.

"I don't know." Qin Shilu shook his head, frowning slightly, "I'm talking about a strange incident last night." Then, she told Wang Laixing how she went to the doctor for abdominal pain last night, how she eavesdropped on Wu Liangjie's conversation with the doctor outside the house, and how she talked with the doctor after entering the house.

"You say, is it strange?" After speaking, Qin Shi was dry at the intersection and did not forget to ask.

Although Wang Laixing is honest and upright, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been in charge of logistics for a long time. He pondered for a while and said, "Isn't it Wu Liangjie who raised women in the camp?" ”

"No, it won't." Qin Shilu immediately rejected his conjecture, "Who are the people in the back camp, all of them are written in black and white in the account books." You haven't seen the few inspectors under the surname Liu, and when they were full of food and nothing to do, they began to visit and check around the camp, unless Wu Liangjie didn't want to live or dig a pit to bury the woman in it, how could he hide people's eyes and ears? ”

"Then he will take this medicine......" Wang Laixing couldn't think of a reason for a while, and scratched his head with a flat mouth.

"I guess he's holding the medicine and he's trying to hurt people." Qin Shilu expressed his guess, "He is not afraid of the cold late at night, begging for this medicine, if he is not in a hurry to treat his loved ones, it can only be a ghost in his heart, afraid of being seen by others." ”

Wang Laixing was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "You, what you said is indeed true, but you also said that this medicine is only effective for women, but which woman did he have such a deep hatred with?" What woman deserves such caution as he should harm in this way? ”

"This ......" Qin Shilu couldn't answer his question, but he hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter who he wants to harm, as long as he harms people, we can't let it go." ”

Wang Laixing nodded, and then shook his head again. Qin Shilu saw it in his eyes, frowned and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"You can't just be so arbitrary." Wang Laixing said in a deep voice. This year, he is nineteen years old, and has stepped into the ranks of quasi-adults, and the harsh environment can often urge people to be precocious. "Think twice before you act" is what Zhao Dangshi often admonished him, and when he thinks of this sentence, his impulse will be suppressed.

Qin Shilu looked at Wang Laixing, who was abnormal, and suddenly felt a little happy, she only felt that Wang Laixing's thin but firm and calm face made her feel at ease like never before. Because of this unexpected and wonderful feeling, she did not lose her temper as before, but asked in a consultative tone, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's all my speculation now, and there is no conclusive evidence of what it is. In my opinion, it is better to keep an eye on Wu Liangjie first, see if he has any changes, and then make plans. Wang Laixing said seriously.

"However, just by virtue of the two of us...... "Stalking people is a science, and with his own skills, Qin Shilu is not sure not to let Wu Liangjie notice, let alone Wang Laixing and several of his guards. Therefore, Wang Laixing's words are reasonable, but they are simple to say, but difficult to do.

"That's not a cause for concern. I went to Commander Pang and asked him for help. Wang Laixing made up his mind, this investigation has to be done by the Secret Service Division to make Pang Jinming the safest. This time, Zhao Dangshi went out of Zitong, the secret service department did not go, and stayed in Jianzhou to maintain law and order, with his friendship with Zhao Dangshi, Wang Laixing was fully sure to persuade Pang Jinming to help him.

The two of them had made up their minds, turned their horses' heads, left behind the few guards who had worked foot, and Pegasus returned to the city first.

When we arrived in Jianzhou City, it was already dawn. In the northeast of the city, the sound of non-stop training is huge. Wang Laixing and Qin Shilu went around the "Yingsi" gate in the northeast and asked the soldiers guarding the door: "Have you ever seen Commander Pang go out of the city?" "There are six gates in Jianzhou City, one in the east, south, west, north, northeast, and southwest. As a senior officer, even if Pang Jinming does not belong to the battle sequence, he cannot escape the fate of being captured by Hou Dagui for training.

"I saw it, and I went to the school grounds." The soldier had a good memory, "I went with Commander Zhou." ”

"Commander Zhou?" Wang Laixing and Qin Shilu glanced at each other, "Isn't he injured and unhealed?" ”

"The villain is almost optimistic, and he can walk under the command of Pang, but his face is very bad, and I heard that he is going to do recovery exercises." The soldier was sharp-tongued, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he kept talking, "If it goes on like this, in a few days, Commander Zhou will be able to put on the battle again." ”

Wang Laixing didn't have time to play poor with him, so he said to Qin Shilu: "I'll go to Commander Pang, by the way, take a look at the movements of the surname Wu." "Since Pang Jinming is in the school field, he doesn't need to ask, Wu Liangjie, who is the general of the rear camp, is naturally there, and he can take this opportunity to observe him.

Qin Shilu nodded and said: "Be careful yourself, don't let the surnamed Wu see the clues, I'll wait for your news here in the city gate." ”

The king replied and rode away. The school field is not far away, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a huge clearing surrounded by trees, flying sand and rocks.

On the school field, countless large and small squares are practicing different projects under the supervision of the coach. The roar that burst out of their throats coincided with the sound of war drums lined up on the sidelines and beaten vigorously by shirtless wrestlers.

In the southeast of the school field, there is a double-storey platform. The first floor is like a small attic, on which stands a row of overseers with knives and axes in hand, all dressed like a team, behind the overseers, there is a man with bright armor, who is pointing and laughing with a few people on his side to the dusty school field.

Dressed in such ostentatious armor, Wang Laixing knew at a glance that it must be Hou Dagui. This guy has two sets of armor, one is the purple and red cloth armor he is wearing now, which was taken off Zu Jie from the Battle of Baocheng. Wang Laixing thought that after seeing it at the beginning, he was wearing this kind of ostentatious armor, no wonder Zu Jie would be recognized in the melee, and he couldn't escape to death. And Hou Dagui also seems to think of this stubble, and when he really goes into battle, he is wearing another set of low-key and inconspicuous scale armor from the old.

On the second floor of the high platform, like a ring shape, a strong man holding a water and fire stick stands proudly in the wind, and there are three strong men standing on his left and right, all imitating his every move. It seems that the strong man among them is the person in charge of the exercise, and the coach made Ge Haishan.

Wang Laixing didn't come looking for them, his eyes eagerly scanned back and forth between the phalanxes. Finally, through a piece of yellow sand and flying dust, he saw Pang Jinming, jumped off his horse, and greeted from afar: "Commander Pang, here!" As he spoke, he looked left and right, afraid of showing Wu Liangjie, who didn't know where.

Pang Jin saw that it was Wang Laixing, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he took a leave of absence from the coach in charge of his side, walked over, wiped his sweat as he walked, and asked, "What advice does Manager Wang have?" ”

Wang Laixing took him through several phalanxes and came to the forest, and told him briefly what had happened. He hesitated for a moment, but said, "This can help, but it's just ......."

"Commander Pang has any scruples, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"I can only help you to monitor this step, but if you say that you can take any action, without the order of the lord, Pang will not dare to do it."

Wang Laixing thought that he was going to make some non-specific request, but when he heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said: "As you said, you only need to secretly check Wu Liangjie's traces." Speaking of this, the probe looked outside the forest, "Wu Liangjie is also on the school field now." The matter is urgent, and when the drill is over, Commander Pang will follow. ”

Who knew that Pang Jinming said at this moment: "Before the training of the whole team, I didn't see Wu Liangjie on the school field." Today, because I wanted to help Zhou Commander come over for exercise, I was delayed on the way, and I was the latest to arrive, and I was also reprimanded by General Hou for this. If Wu Liangjie arrives after me, how can the temperament of Yihou General Bing be calm? ”

"Wu Liangjie is not here?" Wang Laixing repeated, surprised. At the same time, an unprecedented sense of unease swept through the body.
